    First of all, hear me out. Second of all…this meme is kindish truish. I am not speaking about trans/gay folk now tho, because gues what, back then constantly bullied people ended similiarily to today. But we do have a problem of acting like a victim being somewhat default today. People have neither security nor confidence and thus we end with…this. We glorify weakness and this sucks.

      Yes, if you promote the idea of victim groups… you will naturally have more victims. Simple logic

    Fun fact: the US prison population has increased EXPONENTIALLY since the 1980s and the quality of life in prisons has decreased significantly. People who have not been found guilty and are awaiting trial (can take multiple years for a trail to happen) are imprisoned if they cannot afford bail. In many cases, inmates have been fed things labeled not for human consumption. We now have things like mandatory minimum sentences where the judge can’t use their discretion in whether or not to jail someone.

    Why do this, you ask? That’s simple, free or very low cost labor! Prisoners are paid pennies on the dollar to do various jobs so that corporations can maximize profits. They have to work these jobs in order to afford basic nececities like toothpaste, and some prisons even charge you to stay in them.

    The US has the biggest imprisoned population in the world by a very long shot despite only being 7% of the world population.

    No matter how many down votes these liberal babies give you OP, it doesn’t change the fact that you are correct. Thanks for posting something honest on this cesspool of infants.

    In everyday reality, they cannot downvote or ban you in on the streets, so cheers to us!

        You are so bloody bored with your life and filled with the internet rage.

        You wreak of liberal media bs. Try living through George Bush, who started 2 fucking wars that sent 100,000 civilians to their graves.

        You are possibly the most degenerate generation to ever walk this earth. Having never lived with real evil people in your life, you live in a world with your cell phone shoved so far up your asshole.

        Now fuck off and let the adults do the thinking.

          You are right about me not living through the Bush era. I have never experienced anything like that.

          However, I believe that trump and the rest of his administration are evil. I mean… Just look at what he’s already done today… Pardoned participants at the Jan 16 riot, killed DEI, trying to kill off anything LGBTQ+, climate, etc.

          Sure, Trump hasn’t started any wars, even during his last term, which is great. But just because he didn’t do the worst thing possible, doesn’t mean he’s not evil. Every single executive order he’s signed or revoked today doesn’t benefit us. In fact, they will only make our planet, OUR life worse.

          I do agree with you about my generation though. there are tons of morons.

          EDIT: Forgot to mention that Trump is grifting people now. And his little henchman showed proof that he’s a nazi live on stage today.

      My intent to post it was how some many people regardless of the time in history or today are really living in horrible conditions. And I will never understand how some people get so upset over the nerve that someone would have a different opinion than them. Do they really think Utopia is everyone thinking the very same about every issue.

    I mean are we speaking about the same men, who would have had a panic attack if they saw black people using the same bathroom as them? Because i am pretty sure that is even more pathetic.

      Good point. We can just put US elementary school students in the top frame, then we can keep the year the same and simplify the format a bit.

        Imagine being in highschool. Your at the recruiter table it’s lunchtime. You look around at the strokes in your school. “Yeah I ain’t dying to protect any of this or these people” lol.

                They could be former soldiers with PTSD, people with PTSD express themselves in different ways.

                Anyway, I think posts like this are daft.

                Edit; fuck sake it’s shitpost.

                  yeah they could be astronauts who went to the moon in secret missions too, but there’s nothing to indicate either of our theories, so I’ll treat them as ordinary women

    man back then: couldn’t deal with a traincar comming to a screeching halt, loud sounds, not having a job. Huge pussies despite fighting in a literal war.

    men today: choose to stand up against the rigid societal expectations, warriors in the true sense of the word. afraid of loud sounds, not having a job.

    Can we add a picture of all the european aristrocrats who felt so insecure about their dick-measuring contests among their inbred cousins that they needed to send millions of people to their deaths and all that shit mentioned in the upper panel?
